My girlfriend and I have been dating for 7 months. We met over the summer and started dating soon after. She is just turned 16 in Oct. and I turned 19 in Jan.. She lives one hour and 15 minutes away (75 miles). We only see each other on weekends or when we both dont have school. We talk every night on the phone. She is in 10th grade but was planning on graduating early next year. I am a freshman at a community college where i grew up. Everything was perfect for all those months. We were in love. She would talk about going to college near I would transfer. She would talk about us getting married and how we are perfect for each other. This past week she said she needed a break. She said she is stressed. She plays basketball and is going to do track, wants to get a job, and she is a really good student. She said she is to stressed to do work and felt like everything she was slipping away. I was very upset since this came out of no where. She was thinking about it for a week.Need some advice about my relationship? anything helps?
Sorry to hear you're in this situation.
While she is young, she does sound to be quite mature, as are you.
It is wonderful you 2 had the time you did together over summer and have been together happily for 7 months, you may find she is simply feeling heavy with the responsibilities of life and may feel she doesn't' have the energy left to give you all she wishes she could and would rather have a break then do damage to your relationship.
I would suggest, first you think about 3 ways that you believe could help in making her life a little less stress free, such as instead of talking every night, talk every second night and see each other every second weekend, something so that for the time being it doesn't feel like she's being stretched in too many directions, but equally so she's aware you care a lot about her and would rather keep her in your life in smaller way then not at all.
Now once you have your 3 suggestions for how you can help reduce her stress a little, give her a call, tell her exactly what you told us above, that you really care for her, and you appreciate that with all she has going on in her life she may feel over committed to include you as much as she may wish, but be sure to ask her, what you can do to remain in her life but in a way that both of you are comfortable with, be it less contact etc until things settle down.
If she really does just want a break, then respect that, as hard as it may be at first, she is right, if you're are meant to be you 2 will get back together. The key may be just to be a really, really good and solid friend for her at the moment, she will respect and appreciate that.
Good Luck.Need some advice about my relationship? anything helps?
A healthy person in a healthy relationship should not be accumulating stress by having you participate in her life. As hard as it may seem you should consider giving her this space.
She is just being nice and hopes you take a hint.
Your both too young and too far away for anything serious.
Now go be like most college students, get drunk and have unprotected no strings attached sex with some college girl who is also so drunk she won't remember who she slept with if she gets pregnant.
well that sucks i mean am dating someone that means alot too me and i love him so much and everything else but i dont get too see him on weekdays only on weekends 4 now.. til he moves in town then i'll see him everyday whenever i turn 18 iam moving in with him are u should she was seeing anyone else cuz sum girls are like that??
She needs the break. She is busy and stressed , and yeah maybe she't hinking about wehther or not this relationship is more heartache than pleasure.
Nothing you can do but be a good friend and wait.
maybe she wants to see you every second day or any random day
she might feel stressed because of the routine yous are in
